The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.
The processor is not made out of water so the boiling point of water doesn’t affect it
In fact you will get the best performance at 95C because to decrease it means to decrease the clocks
If you mean to get a better cooling solution that would be better, but then running it at 95C with that better cooling solution would be better again
Once you reach a cooling solution that can take it to the maximum clocks, then there will be no performance benefit between 70C and 95C at the same clocks and you can reduce the fan speed to hit the higher temperature at less noise
